Hey all, I recently lost power to my passenger low beam headlight. I relaced the bulb first to find no fix. The high beam works just fine and the driver side is functioning properly. I've traced the wire back to where the ABS module is and I have no circuit breaks to there. I also have power at the fuse block but according to the Haynes manual it looks like the wire is connected to the fog lamp relay. I am not able to find this relay. I don't have any other manuals but the Haynes. I'm ready to replace the wire but I just have to determine whether it's before or after the relay. I'm not sure if it's located in the power distribution box because there is no legend on the cover. If anyone knows any links to schematics or pic of where the relay is please let me know. Thanks!!! Larry

Its probably your LOM - lights out module... lots of posts... basically the module has some connector / circuit board failures that are fixable or replaceable depending your skill.

added... see the next post down for schematic... similar problem... but not quite.... his problem is probably the MFS.
 












Headlight fixed

Hey all, after tips from everyone about the lights out module, my lights (fog and passenger low beam) are now working. I wiggled the plug to the lamp out module under the oil reset light and wa la...there working again. Thanks to everyone for the help.
 






The problem will come back unless you replace or fix the LOM. If you know how to solder, take the case off the LOM and repair the bad solder joint.
